Vh1, only international entertainment channel brings to you the ultimate game show that inspired reality shows all over the world for the first time on Indian television, Road Rules. Get ready to witness a race for buried treasure unlike any other, where staying alive is just as important as staying ahead of the game. Drama, heartbreak and treachery are all guaranteed. To find out who conquers and who falls, tune in to the premiere of Road Rules, Thursday, 24th September at 11pm only on Vh1!
The show puts six suddenly penniless people, between the ages of 18 and 24, in an RV and sets them on an adventure led by Road master, Drew Bell. Each episode will land the competitors in new locations to face unpredictable obstacles and challenges as they strive to emerge winners. Expect each episode to have all of the big missions that are at the core of Road Rules, and with it anticipate all of the drama that comes through when the contestants have no clue of where they’re headed or what they’ll be doing the next day.
Guess what? The best part is yet to come! After every mission, the Road Rulers must choose one teammate who heads to ‘The Pit’ to battle it out with one member of ‘The Pit Crew’. Who is the Pit Crew? It’s a group of eight newbie’s (aka Road Ruler wannabes) waiting in the wings to claim a coveted seat on the Road Rules RV.
Speaking on the initiative Ferzad Palia, Associate General Manager, Vh1 India says, “Road Rules is a cutthroat game, one that viewers in India would be highly receptive to. After remaining a major hit right through its 14 seasons in the US, Vh1 is bringing the knock out series to Indian screens. We are very eager to see the response to the show where drama is inevitable. ”
As playtime gets over for 6 Road Rulers, the rules of their games are about to change. Who will be crushed under pressure and who will emerge as the ultimate Road Ruler? Watch all the action and the drama on the only space of international entertainment on Indian television, Vh1!

Levitating women? Walking through steel? The Masked Magician’s most daring deed in history is not these, but shattering the silence – breaking the sacred oath of secrecy among magicians by revealing on TV the mystery behind the magic tricks that have always eluded the masses. Tune in to AXN this September for the first and exclusive peek into the unveiling of the deep, dark secrets of the magic industry!
More than 10 years ago, the Masked Magician concealed his face to reveal the jealously guarded secrets behind some of the most baffling illusions ever, in the first and ratings-shattering series of Breaking the Magician’s Code in 1997, which made television history as one of the highest rated specials ever, setting records for audiences of all ages. Over a decade and countless new illusions later, a new Masked Magician has returned in an all-new series of Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed, to first dazzle with the silken execution of even more marvellous magical feats, from simple card tricks and sleights of hand, to bewitching, bewildering illusions… before exposing them for the first time in history and laying bare the dark secrets behind these tricks that have dumbfounded the public for centuries.
With the voice of Mitch Pileggi (X Files) detailing the intricacies of each stunt, viewers will surely not be disappointed with the fascinating plethora of magic tricks their eyes can feast upon. From the classic act of restoring a cut rope to the mystifying grand acts of cutting one head’s off with a guillotine, levitating to different buildings and making a five-ton military vehicle magically appear in an empty parking lot, viewers will get to see beyond the magic and more.
Remember David Blaine’s death defying stunt back in 2000 when he encased himself in a block of ice for seven days without food, water and sleep? David Copperfield’s stupefying rendition of the Death Saw illusion, where a gigantic industrial buzz saw sliced a shackled Copperfield cleanly in half? Or how about the mind-blowing feat of Criss Angel walking on water effortlessly in full sight of spectators? Look no further than the Masked Magician who will present the ‘spoilers’ – the trade secrets behind these seemingly impossible magic feats!
Lift the confusion from illusion, guided by the sure and secret hands of the Masked Magician, in one of the most watched special series in TV History, with Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed, first and exclusively on AXN this September!
